From the Atlantic Monthly January. Fivc-Slstcrs Court at Chrislmas-Tide.(Concluded.) It was not long before there was another rnicr, ana Mr. Lo Clear appeared, who received the jiggoty Miss Pix's welcome in a smiling and well-bred manner, and sulluteu bnnsell Co bo introduced to the varions persons present, when all seized the new opportunity to dis cover mo names of the rtusical gentlemen, and fusten them to tho right owners. Vaul laughed when he saw Nicholas, and spoke to him as au old acquaintance. Miss l'ix was suddenly in grent alarm, and, beckoning away Nicholas, whispered, "ilon't for the w.irld tell him where the others live." Like the Prime-ininister with a state-secret, Nicholas weut back to Paul, and spent tho next few minutes iu the trying task of answering leading questions with misleading answers. "I see," said the acuto Mr. Le Clear to himself, ''the aunt io that marplotty dame who has turned our youug Juilgn into a prisoner at tho bar ;" and he entered into conversation with Mrs. Starkey with great alacrity, finding her a very ripe cucumber. Mr. Manlins. who was talking iu easy words of two syllable?, to tho musical geutlemcu, overheard some of Mrs. Sturkcy's revelations to Mr. Lfl Clear, und, watching his opportunity, gst Paul into u corner, where he favored him with some con tldences respecting the lady. . "Yeu may have thought, Sir," 6aid ho, in a whisper, ' "Ihal Mrs. Starkey is is," and he filled out the sentence with an exprossive gesture toward his own well-balanced hou J. "Not at all," said Paul politely. "She is periodically atTs.'cted,',coiitiuued Mr. Manlius, "with what I may perhaps cull excessive and ill-bulunced volubility. Mrs. Star-key, Sir, is a quiet person, rarely speaking j but onco in five or six weeks, the periods do not return with exact regularity, she is sub ject to some hidden influence, which looses her tongue, as it were. I tbinK sue is under the influeuco now, and her words aro not likely to to correspond exactly with existing facts. You will not be surprised, then, at her words. They ore only words, words. At other times slio is a woman of action. She has a wonderful character, Sir." "Quite a phenomenon, indeed, I should say," said Paul, ready to return to so interesting a person, but politely suffering Mr. Manlius to flow on, which he did uniutennpcdly. Doctor Chocker was the last to como. jiss Pix knew his infirmity, and contented herself with tnnte, but expressive signs, until tho old gentleman could adjust his trumpet and receive her hearty conKrutulatious. lie jerked out a response, which Miss Pix receiv ed with as much delight as n be had flowed freely, like Mr. Manlius, who was new playing upon Mr. I Clear an analysis of Nicholas's cbniacter, which he had read with unerring uccuracy, as Mrs. Manlius testified by her continued, unreserved agreement. Iudecd, the finding of his aunt by Nicholas in so unexpected a manner was tho grand topic of the eveuing ; and the four musical gentleman, hearing the story in turn from each of the others', were now engaged in a sort of diuteg-saron, in which the four accounts were made to harmonize with considerable difficulty : Mr. Schmaukef insisting upon his view, that Nicholas had arrived wet and hungry, was found on the doorstep, and dragged in by Mrs Star-key ; while Mr.' Pfeffendorf and Mr. Pfeifl'er substituted Mrs. Manlius for Mrs. Starkey ; and Mr. WiudgrnfJ proposed an entirely new reading. Dr. Chocker's entrance created a lull : and tho introduction, performed in a general way by the hostess, brought little information to the rest, who were hoping to revise their list of names, and very little to the Doctor, who looked about inquisitively, as Miss Pix drop ped the company in a heap into hisenr-trum-pet llis.eye lighted on Nicholas, aud he went forward to meet him, to the surprise of the company, who looked npon Nicholas as belonging exclusively to them. A new theory was at once broached by Mr. Windgroffto his companions, that Dr. Chocker had brought about the recognition ; but it lost credit as the Doctor began to question Nicholas, iu an abrupt way, upon his presence there. "Didn't I know I should meet you aguin, young man," said he. , "But yon don't take my advice, eh f or you would'iit have been hero. Hut I'm setting you a pretty exf mple 1 This isn't tho way to study the value of words, eh, Mr. Mr. Le Clear f" ' The real Mr. Lo Clear and his Qclion looked at each other, anil by a ritpid interchange of glances signified their inability to extricate themselves from the snarl, exetpt by a dan-gorotis cat which Nicholas had not the courage at that moment to givo. The rest of tho company wern mystified j and Mr. Manliui, pocketing tho character which h had just been giving, tree or cfiarge, w nts nw acquaintance, turned to his wifr, and whispered awfully, "An impostor, Caroline P - Mrs. Manlius looked anxiously and frightened back to. bim ;' but he again whippored, "Wait for further developments, Caroline f and she sank into a t-tiite of terrified curiosity.! Fortunately, Mrs. Starkey was at the moment confiding much that was irrelevant to Mr. l Clear the actual, who did not call ber attention to the word?. Tht four mnticnl gentleman were divided npon the accuracy of their hearing. Miss Pix, who had been bustling about, unconscious of tho mystiTVi now croated a diversion by saying, somewhat flurried by the silence that followed her first words, ' "Our musical friends have, brought a pleasant little surprise for ns ; but, Mr. PruiOor, won't yon expluia the Children's Symphony 6 the performers T 1 Everybody at. once made a note of Mr, rPfeillur, aud put a private mark on him for luturo reiereuce j wiuie no good-numorcuiy, aud with embarrassing English, ' explained that Miss Pix tad proposed that thecompany should produce Kaydus Children's Symphony, in whicli the principal parts were sustained by four striuged instruments, whicli he and his friends would play j while children'stoy-instruments, which the other ihreo -were now busily tuking out of a box, would be distributed among the rust - of the company t aud Miss Pix would act as leader, designating to each his or her part, and time of playing. Tha proposul created considerable confu sion in tlie company, especially wncn wopen-ny-trumpot,' drum, cuckoo, night-owl, quail, rattle, and whistlo were exhibited, and glee. fully tried by the four musical friends, Mr. Munlius oyed the penny trumpet which was offered him with a doubtful air, but concluded to eacrillco his dignity for the good of the company. Mrs. Manlius received her cuckoo nervously, as 5f it would break forth iff spite of her, acd looked asiiauce at is icnoloa to see if he would dare to take tho night owl into his perjured hands. He did tul;e it with great good humor, and, at Mies Pixs request, undertook to persuade Doctor Chocker to blow the whistle, lie bad first to give a digest of Mr, rleiller s apeecn into tue ear-trumpet, and, it is feared, would have failed to bring the Doctor round without Miss Pix, who etime up at the critical moment, and told him that she knew ko must have known how when he was a boy, accompanied him with sucu persuasive frolicking thut the Doctcr at' once signified bis consent and his proficiency by blowing a blast into Nicholas's ear, whom he regarded as a special enemy on good terms with him, to the great merriment of all. The signal was givea, and tho company looked at Miss Pix, awaiting their turn with anxious solicitude. The.syqiphony passed off quite well, though Mr. Le Clear, who managed the drum, was the enly one who kept perfect time. Mrs. Stnrkey, who held the rattle aloft, sprung it at the first sound of the music, and continued to spring it in spite of the expostulations and luughtor of the others. Mrs. Manlius, unable to follow Miss Pix's excited gestures, turned to her husband, and uttered the cuckoo's doleful note whenever he blew his trumpet, which he did deliberately at regular intervals. The effect, however, was admirable ; and as tha outiro company was in the orchestra, tho mutual satisfaction was perfect, and the peice wus eucored vociferously, to the dolight of little Miss Pix, who enjoyed without limit the meltiug of her company, which was now going on rapidly. It continued even when tho mnsie had stopped, and Qretchcn, very red, but intensely interested, brought in some coffee and cakes, which she distributed under Miss Pix's diicction. Nicholas shared the good lady's pleasure, aid addressed himself to his aunt with increased attention, tuking good caro to avoid Doctor Chocker, who submitted more graciously than would bo suppose to a steady play from Mr. Maulius's hose. Mr. Pfeiffer and hts thre.e musical friends made themselves merry with Mrs. Munlius and M'ss Pix, while Mr. Le Clear walked about performing chemical experi ments npon tho whole company. And now Miss Pix, who had been all the while glowing more and more with gnnshino in her face, again addressed tho company, and said : "I think the best thing should bo kept till toward the end ; and Iv'e got a scheme that I want you all to help me in. We re all neighbors here," and she looked round npon the company witn a smuo iiini grew uronuer, while they ail looKCU surprised, ana negaii io smilo buck iu ignorait sympathy, except Doctor Chocker, who did not hear a word, and refused to smilo till he knew what it was for. "Yes, wo are all neighbors. Doctor Chocker lives in Number One ; Mr. Le Ulear lives in Number Two ; Mr. and Mis. Jlaulius, JUrs. Sturkey. and Mr. Judge are from Number Three j my muslcul friends live withm easy call : aud I live in Number Five." Here she looked round again triumphantly, and fouud them all properly astonished, and r.pparently very contented, except Doctor Chocker, who was immovaoie. jmchoios expressed the most marked surprise, as became so hypocritical a prime-minister, causiug Mr. Munlius to mako a private note oi some un- revealed perjury. "Now." said Miss Pix, pausing, aod arrest ing the profound attention of all, "who lives at Number Four V If she expected nn answer, it was plainly not locked up In the breast of any one before her. But-sbe did not expect an auswer ; she was determined to give that herself, and she continued "There is a most excellent womao there, Mrs. Bloke, whom I should have liked very much to inlrodace to yon to-night, especially as it is her birthday.

Thero she has sat, or luin. for fifteen years I She's a confirmed invalid ; but she can seo her friends. And now for my little scheme. I want to give her a surprise party from al! her ueighbors, and I waut to give 11 now. us uti rigm. sjifciuuru uwi seen ber maid and Mrs. Dlake knows just enough to be willing to have me bricg a few friends." . Miss Pix looked about, with a little anxie-tv neeninir out of her eood-souled eager face. Dut the company was so melted dowu that she could uow mould it at pleasure, and no opposition was mado. Mr. Munlius volunteered to enlighten Doctor Chocker ; but he made so long a preamble thut the old scholar turned, with considerable impatience, to Mips l'ix, who soon put In in in good humor, and secured his co operation, though not without his indulging in soma sinful and anneigh-borly remarks to Nicholas. It proved unnecessary to go into conrt, for these two houes happened to have a connection, which Mies Pix made use of, the door having been left open all the. evening, that Mrs. Wake might catch some whiffs of the entertainment. Oretcheo appeared In the doorway, bearing on a alver a great cake, made with bor own hands, having Mre. Blake's initials, in colored letters, on tho frosting, aud the whole surrounded by fifty little wax taper", indicating her age, which all counted, and all counted differently, giving opportunity to the four musical friends to enter upon a fresh and lively discussion. The party was marshalled by Mirt Fix in the order of houe, while she herself iquee zed past them all on tho staircase, to usher them into Mrs. Wake's presence. Mrs,, Dlake was sitting In bor reclining-chairas MifS Pix entered with ber retinue. The room was In perfect ftrder, and had about it such an air of neatness aod pmity that one felt one's self in a haven of rest npon crossing the threshold. The invalid snt quietly and at ease, looking forth npco the scene before her m if eo fafelv moorcJ that no troubling of the oloments conld ever reach her.' Here bad she lived, yeur after yoar, almost alone with herself, though uow the big-souled littlo music teacher was her constant visitor ; but tho entrance of all her neighbors seemCd In no wise to agitate her placid demeanor, She greeted Miss Pix with a pleased smile ; and all being now in the room, the bustling little woman, at the very zenith of her euuey courso, took her stand and said, . "This is my company, denr Mrs. Blako, These are all neighbors of ours, living in the ciurt, or close by. We have been having a right merry time, and now wo cun't break up without briugiug you our good wishes, our Chrinimas good wishes, and our birthday good wishoB," said Miss Pix, with a little oratorical flourish, which brought Urotchen to the front with her illuminated cuke, which the positively could not have held another momeut, so heavy had it grown, oven for her stout arms. i Mrs. Blake laughed gently, and with a delighted look exnminod tho great cake, with her initials, and did not need to count the wax topers. It was placed on. ujstiind, and she said, " "No I should like to entertain my guests, and, if yon will let me, I will give yeu each a piece of my cake, for it a,ll belongs to mo, after Miss Pix's graceful presentation ; and if Miss, Pix will be so good, I will ask her to make me personally acquainted with each of you." So a knife was brought, and Mrs. Blake cut a generous piece, when Doctor Chocker was introduced, with gteat gesticulation on tlie part of Miss Pix. "I am glad to Bee you, Doctor Chocker,' said Mrs. Blako, distinctly, but quietly, iuto his trumpet "Do you let your patients eat cake? Try this, and see if it isu't good for mc." "If I were a doctor of mediciue," said he, jerkily, "I should bring my patients to see you j" at which Miss Pix nodded to him most vehemently, and the doctor wagged bis ear trumpet in delight at tho retort which be thought he had made. --.' Mr. Lo Clear was introduced, and took his cake gracefully, saying, "I hope another year will see you at a Christmas party of Miss Pix's ;" but Mrs. Blake smiled, tud said, "This is my little lot of earth, and I am sure there is a patch of stars above." Mr. Manlius and wife came up together, he eomewnut lumbering, as it Mrs. Jtiluke s character were too much for bis discernment, and Mrs. .Manlius not quite sure of herself when her husband seemed embarrassed. "This is really too funny," said Mrs. Blako, merrily ; "as if I were a very benevolent person, doliug out my charity of cake on Christmas eve. Do, Mr. Mnnlius, take alarge piece; and I am sure your wife will take some homo to the children." "What wonderful inBinht 1" said Jlir. .Van- lins, turning about to Nicholas, and drawing; in his breath. "We have children, two. That woman has a deep character, Mt. Judge." ".Urs. Starkey, also or .Number three," said the mistress of ceremonies j "and JWr. Nicholas Judge, arrived only this evening. - "Nicholas Judse !' smd Wrs. Wake, losing the color which tho excitement had brought, aud dropping the knife. "j!7y nephew," exclaimed Mrs. Starkey. "Just came this evening, and found me at home. Never saw him before, jlfust tell yon all about it." And she was plunging with alacrity into the delightful subject, with all its variations. . Mia. Blake looked at Nicholas, while tho color came aud went in her cheeks. "Stop P said she. decisively, to .Mrs. Star- key, aud half rising, she leaned forward to Nicholas, and said rapidly, with an energy which seemed to be summoned uom every part of her syBtem, "Are you meson oi aiico crown i 'Yes, yes," said Nicholas, tumultuously ; "and you, you are her sister. Here, take this miniature ;" and he snatched one from bis breast "Is not this she 1 It is my mother. You are my Aunt Eunice," he exclaimed, as she sank back in her chair exhausted, but reaching out her arms to bim. "Thut young man is a base impostor 1" said Mr. Jlaulius aloud, with his hand in his waist coaf j while Mrs. Jlianlius looked on dopre catingly, but as it too, too aware of the soii fact. "I said so to my wife in private, I read it in his face, and now I declare it jiub-licly. ' That man is a base impostor I" "Dear, dear, I don't understand it at all I" said the unfortunate JWrs. Starkey. "I thought, to be sure, that Nicholas was my nephew. Never saw bjm before, but be said he was ; and now, now, I don't know what I shall do I" and the poor lady, suddenly bereft of her fortune, began to wipe her moiBt eyes ; "but perhaps," she added, with a bright, though transient gleam of hope, "we are both aunts to him." "That cannot be," said Nicholas, kindly, who left his aunt to set the company right, if possible. "My dear friend," he said, taking Mrs. Starkey's hand, "it has been a mistake, brought on by my heedlessness. I knew only thrt my aunts name was Eunice Brown. It chanced that yours was the same name. I happened to come upon you first ic my search, and did not dream it pcssiblo that there could be two in the same court Everything seemed to tally ; and I was too pleased at finding the only relation I had in the wide world to ask many questions. But when I saw Jhat my anut knew who I was, and I saw my moth er's. features in hers, I perceived my mistake at once. We will remain friends, though, shall we nott" Mrs. Sturkey was too much bewildered to refuse any compromise ; but Mr. .Manlins stepped forward, having his claim as a private ollicer cf justice. "I must still demand an explanation, Sir, how it is that in this mixed assembly the learned Doctor Chocker addresses you as Mr. JLe Clear, and you do not decline the title j" and Mr. ;Uuulius looked,- as it for a wuuess, to Doctor Chocker, who was eating his cake with great solemnity, holding bis ear trumpet iu hopes of catching an occasional word. "That would require too long an explanation," said Nicholas, smiling ; "but you shall have it sometime in private. Mt Le Clear himself will no doubt tell yon;" which Mr. Lo Clear, an tun used spectator of the scene, cheerfully promised to do. The company had been so stirred np by (his revelation, that they came near retreating at onco to Mm Pix's to talk it over, to the dismay of the four musical gentlemen, who had not yet been presented, and especially who had not y it got any cake. JViss I'll, though in a transport of joy, had an eye f ir everything, and, daicovering this, iusisted on presenting them in a body to Mt. Blako, in consideration of her fatigue, They bowed simultaneously, snd stood before her like bashful schoolboys j while Nicholas assnmcd the knife in behair of his aunt, distributing with equal libeiality, when tbey retired in high glee over the new version of bis history, whioh Mr. Wiodgrair, for tlie sakfl of displaying his acumen, stoutly declared to be spurious. Gretcbeo also was served with a monstrous lice ; and tho the company bid good-by to the aunt-and nephew, who began anew their glnd recognition, ' . It was noi?y set of people who left ATlas Pix's house. That little My stood in the doorway, sod sfnt off wch with such a merry blessing that it lasted long after the doors of the other bouses were closed Kven Uie.ror-lorn Mr. Sturkey seemed to go back almost as hnppy as when she had Issued forth In tbe evening with her newly fouud nephew. The sudden gleam of hope which his unlooked-for coming bad let in upod a toilsome and thankless lite for we know more about bor position in Mr. MunliuVs household than we Lave been at liberty to disclose had, indeed, gone ont iu darkness ; but the Christmas merriment, and the kindness which for one eveuing had flowed around her, bad so fertilised one little spot in her life, that, however dreary her pilgrimage, nothing could destroy tha bright oases.1 It gave hope of others, too, do less verdant ; and with this hope uttermost is her confused brain the lonely widow entered the land of Christmas dreams. Let us hope, too, that the pachydermatous Mr. Manlins felt the puncture of her disappointment, and that Miss Pix's genial warmth had made him cast off a little the cloak of selfithness in which he bad wrapped himself ) for what else could have made bim say to his echoing wife that night, "Caroline, suppose we let Eunice take the children to the panorama to-morrow. It's a quarter more : bat she was rather disappoint ed about that yonug fellow ?" The loarned Doctor Chocker, who had, in oil his days, never found a place to compare with bis crowded study for satisfaction to his soul, for the first time cow, as be entered it, admitted to himself that Miss Pix's arbor-liko parlor and Mrs, Blake's Bimple room had something that his lacked ( and in the frozen little bedroom where be nightly shivered, io rigid obedience to some fancied laws of health, the old mnn was aware of some kindly influence thawing away the chill frost-work which lie had suffered to sheathe his heart. Nor did Mr. Le Clenr toast his slippered feet befoi his cheery bre without an uncomtortabie misgiv ing that bis philosophy hardly compassed the sphere or lite. Christmas-eve in tlie conrt was over. Strange things had bnpponed ; and for one night at least, the. Five Sisters hud actod as one family. Little .Wias Pix, reviewing the evening, as she droppoi off to sleep, could not help rubbing her bauds togethor, aud emitting little chuckles. Such a delightful evening as she had had I and meaning to surprise others, she had herself been taken into a belter surprise still ; and here, recollecting the bnppy nmon ot the lone, but not lonely, Mrs. lilake with a child of her old age, as it were, Miss Fix most laugh aloud just as the midnight clock was sounding. Bless her neighborly soul, she has ushered in Christmas-day with her laugh of good-will toward men. The whole hymn of tbe angels is in her heart ; and with it let her sleep till the glorious snnshiBe awakes her. , , New Tears Fashions In New Tork- The New York Review gives the following shetch of the new fashions, as they are seen on Broadway. We copy them for the benefit of our fair readers, who aro always supposed to take a keen interest in these things. Hats, that for so long bold sway iu tbe Empire and sister cities, have at last yielded to their old, rival the bonnet and to a new-born, saucy chit of a thing called cop. I say old rival, but who would recognize me bonnet oi 1863 iu that of 18651 1SC4 was a slow formative period, an age of expedients, in' which a thousand things were tried, but nothing defi nito or characteristic wus attained. In the mean time the style of wearing the hair had become agitated and decided, and that immediately determined tho character or the bonnet. The present style of weaiingthe hair is borrowed from the antique. It is the Milo modernized the curls of the Venus de Milo "bagged" in an invisible net. This invisible net is the "gossamer" of Inst year, made if possiblc-a shade more fragile, and msut match exactly the color of the hair. It is qnite small and hangs low on the neck beiug half concealed by bows of narrow ribbons falling from the top. Uold ana coral combs OLd silver arrows and stilettos with strauus of elaborately complicated chain are much worn and look elegaut and recuevche beyond, meir valne. ! With such a style of hair-drossmg tbe bon net of 1863 would be impossible, . aud thatf 1865 in the highest degree apropos, ibe effect of the new bonnet is as if a three-cor nered piece of velvet was thrown over the head and tied under the chin, the corner luiuug De- bind being festooned and ordunieote with ribbons, laco, feathers, flowers, etc. Flowers, feathers, tullo, lace, illusion and ribbons adorn the front, color to suit the complexion of tbe wearer. Red and blue, tbat fof yenra haye been a tabooed combination, are now flaunted on Broadway by leaders of ton. . Like lineal descendants 01 tne uoouess oi Liberty look the velvet-cupped A merican girls who trip along Broadway, these bright crisp days. This cap is truly a cosmopolitan production, embracing a broad variety of shapes and characters. It is round, oval, the Neapolitans square, and has a hint at three corners. It is the cavalier cap with curtailed rim; the snug cap of the country school-boy; the regu lation cop or the army ouicer; tne mue oou-not of tho Iliehluuder: the cup of the western 6quirrel hunter; the U. S. navy cap, and the Liberty cap of the Revolution slightly modi- tied, daintily plumed, and larjeieu -lasnioo- able." Ostrich plumes are no longer in vogue. Qoose.brcast feathers, hen toil feathers, the golden-green sideplumage of peacock, the down of swans and sea-gulls, various small, brillanl native, and SouthAmerican birds, and the white wings of doves and pigeons, are flaunted on fashionable caps. This last is a barbarous deduction from the snbtlo-eouled sueirestion of the Oreek a single broken dis severed Wing, lor idb living, waviug wing ui Mufcurys cap, throbbing for action in upper air. Where have the, Graces and the Muses flown 1 MILITARY OPERATIONS.

From the Atlantic Monthly January. Fivc-Slstcrs Court at Chrislmas-Tide.(Concluded.) It was not long before there was another rnicr, ana Mr. Lo Clear appeared, who received the jiggoty Miss Pix's welcome in a smiling and well-bred manner, and sulluteu bnnsell Co bo introduced to the varions persons present, when all seized the new opportunity to dis cover mo names of the rtusical gentlemen, and fusten them to tho right owners. Vaul laughed when he saw Nicholas, and spoke to him as au old acquaintance. Miss l'ix was suddenly in grent alarm, and, beckoning away Nicholas, whispered, "ilon't for the w.irld tell him where the others live." Like the Prime-ininister with a state-secret, Nicholas weut back to Paul, and spent tho next few minutes iu the trying task of answering leading questions with misleading answers. "I see," said the acuto Mr. Le Clear to himself, ''the aunt io that marplotty dame who has turned our youug Juilgn into a prisoner at tho bar ;" and he entered into conversation with Mrs. Starkey with great alacrity, finding her a very ripe cucumber. Mr. Manlins. who was talking iu easy words of two syllable?, to tho musical geutlemcu, overheard some of Mrs. Sturkcy's revelations to Mr. Lfl Clear, und, watching his opportunity, gst Paul into u corner, where he favored him with some con tldences respecting the lady. . "Yeu may have thought, Sir," 6aid ho, in a whisper, ' "Ihal Mrs. Starkey is is," and he filled out the sentence with an exprossive gesture toward his own well-balanced hou J. "Not at all," said Paul politely. "She is periodically atTs.'cted,',coiitiuued Mr. Manlius, "with what I may perhaps cull excessive and ill-bulunced volubility. Mrs. Star-key, Sir, is a quiet person, rarely speaking j but onco in five or six weeks, the periods do not return with exact regularity, she is sub ject to some hidden influence, which looses her tongue, as it were. I tbinK sue is under the influeuco now, and her words aro not likely to to correspond exactly with existing facts. You will not be surprised, then, at her words. They ore only words, words. At other times slio is a woman of action. She has a wonderful character, Sir." "Quite a phenomenon, indeed, I should say," said Paul, ready to return to so interesting a person, but politely suffering Mr. Manlius to flow on, which he did uniutennpcdly. Doctor Chocker was the last to como. jiss Pix knew his infirmity, and contented herself with tnnte, but expressive signs, until tho old gentleman could adjust his trumpet and receive her hearty conKrutulatious. lie jerked out a response, which Miss Pix receiv ed with as much delight as n be had flowed freely, like Mr. Manlius, who was new playing upon Mr. I Clear an analysis of Nicholas's cbniacter, which he had read with unerring uccuracy, as Mrs. Manlius testified by her continued, unreserved agreement. Iudecd, the finding of his aunt by Nicholas in so unexpected a manner was tho grand topic of the eveuing ; and the four musical gentleman, hearing the story in turn from each of the others', were now engaged in a sort of diuteg-saron, in which the four accounts were made to harmonize with considerable difficulty : Mr. Schmaukef insisting upon his view, that Nicholas had arrived wet and hungry, was found on the doorstep, and dragged in by Mrs Star-key ; while Mr.' Pfeffendorf and Mr. Pfeifl'er substituted Mrs. Manlius for Mrs. Starkey ; and Mr. WiudgrnfJ proposed an entirely new reading. Dr. Chocker's entrance created a lull : and tho introduction, performed in a general way by the hostess, brought little information to the rest, who were hoping to revise their list of names, and very little to the Doctor, who looked about inquisitively, as Miss Pix drop ped the company in a heap into hisenr-trum-pet llis.eye lighted on Nicholas, aud he went forward to meet him, to the surprise of the company, who looked npon Nicholas as belonging exclusively to them. A new theory was at once broached by Mr. Windgroffto his companions, that Dr. Chocker had brought about the recognition ; but it lost credit as the Doctor began to question Nicholas, iu an abrupt way, upon his presence there. "Didn't I know I should meet you aguin, young man," said he. , "But yon don't take my advice, eh f or you would'iit have been hero. Hut I'm setting you a pretty exf mple 1 This isn't tho way to study the value of words, eh, Mr. Mr. Le Clear f" ' The real Mr. Lo Clear and his Qclion looked at each other, anil by a ritpid interchange of glances signified their inability to extricate themselves from the snarl, exetpt by a dan-gorotis cat which Nicholas had not the courage at that moment to givo. The rest of tho company wern mystified j and Mr. Manliui, pocketing tho character which h had just been giving, tree or cfiarge, w nts nw acquaintance, turned to his wifr, and whispered awfully, "An impostor, Caroline P - Mrs. Manlius looked anxiously and frightened back to. bim ;' but he again whippored, "Wait for further developments, Caroline f and she sank into a t-tiite of terrified curiosity.! Fortunately, Mrs. Starkey was at the moment confiding much that was irrelevant to Mr. l Clear the actual, who did not call ber attention to the word?. Tht four mnticnl gentleman were divided npon the accuracy of their hearing. Miss Pix, who had been bustling about, unconscious of tho mystiTVi now croated a diversion by saying, somewhat flurried by the silence that followed her first words, ' "Our musical friends have, brought a pleasant little surprise for ns ; but, Mr. PruiOor, won't yon expluia the Children's Symphony 6 the performers T 1 Everybody at. once made a note of Mr, rPfeillur, aud put a private mark on him for luturo reiereuce j wiuie no good-numorcuiy, aud with embarrassing English, ' explained that Miss Pix tad proposed that thecompany should produce Kaydus Children's Symphony, in whicli the principal parts were sustained by four striuged instruments, whicli he and his friends would play j while children'stoy-instruments, which the other ihreo -were now busily tuking out of a box, would be distributed among the rust - of the company t aud Miss Pix would act as leader, designating to each his or her part, and time of playing. Tha proposul created considerable confu sion in tlie company, especially wncn wopen-ny-trumpot,' drum, cuckoo, night-owl, quail, rattle, and whistlo were exhibited, and glee. fully tried by the four musical friends, Mr. Munlius oyed the penny trumpet which was offered him with a doubtful air, but concluded to eacrillco his dignity for the good of the company. Mrs. Manlius received her cuckoo nervously, as 5f it would break forth iff spite of her, acd looked asiiauce at is icnoloa to see if he would dare to take tho night owl into his perjured hands. He did tul;e it with great good humor, and, at Mies Pixs request, undertook to persuade Doctor Chocker to blow the whistle, lie bad first to give a digest of Mr, rleiller s apeecn into tue ear-trumpet, and, it is feared, would have failed to bring the Doctor round without Miss Pix, who etime up at the critical moment, and told him that she knew ko must have known how when he was a boy, accompanied him with sucu persuasive frolicking thut the Doctcr at' once signified bis consent and his proficiency by blowing a blast into Nicholas's ear, whom he regarded as a special enemy on good terms with him, to the great merriment of all. The signal was givea, and tho company looked at Miss Pix, awaiting their turn with anxious solicitude. The.syqiphony passed off quite well, though Mr. Le Clear, who managed the drum, was the enly one who kept perfect time. Mrs. Stnrkey, who held the rattle aloft, sprung it at the first sound of the music, and continued to spring it in spite of the expostulations and luughtor of the others. Mrs. Manlius, unable to follow Miss Pix's excited gestures, turned to her husband, and uttered the cuckoo's doleful note whenever he blew his trumpet, which he did deliberately at regular intervals. The effect, however, was admirable ; and as tha outiro company was in the orchestra, tho mutual satisfaction was perfect, and the peice wus eucored vociferously, to the dolight of little Miss Pix, who enjoyed without limit the meltiug of her company, which was now going on rapidly. It continued even when tho mnsie had stopped, and Qretchcn, very red, but intensely interested, brought in some coffee and cakes, which she distributed under Miss Pix's diicction. Nicholas shared the good lady's pleasure, aid addressed himself to his aunt with increased attention, tuking good caro to avoid Doctor Chocker, who submitted more graciously than would bo suppose to a steady play from Mr. Maulius's hose. Mr. Pfeiffer and hts thre.e musical friends made themselves merry with Mrs. Munlius and M'ss Pix, while Mr. Le Clear walked about performing chemical experi ments npon tho whole company. And now Miss Pix, who had been all the while glowing more and more with gnnshino in her face, again addressed tho company, and said : "I think the best thing should bo kept till toward the end ; and Iv'e got a scheme that I want you all to help me in. We re all neighbors here," and she looked round npon the company witn a smuo iiini grew uronuer, while they ail looKCU surprised, ana negaii io smilo buck iu ignorait sympathy, except Doctor Chocker, who did not hear a word, and refused to smilo till he knew what it was for. "Yes, wo are all neighbors. Doctor Chocker lives in Number One ; Mr. Le Ulear lives in Number Two ; Mr. and Mis. Jlaulius, JUrs. Sturkey. and Mr. Judge are from Number Three j my muslcul friends live withm easy call : aud I live in Number Five." Here she looked round again triumphantly, and fouud them all properly astonished, and r.pparently very contented, except Doctor Chocker, who was immovaoie. jmchoios expressed the most marked surprise, as became so hypocritical a prime-minister, causiug Mr. Munlius to mako a private note oi some un- revealed perjury. "Now." said Miss Pix, pausing, aod arrest ing the profound attention of all, "who lives at Number Four V If she expected nn answer, it was plainly not locked up In the breast of any one before her. But-sbe did not expect an auswer ; she was determined to give that herself, and she continued "There is a most excellent womao there, Mrs. Bloke, whom I should have liked very much to inlrodace to yon to-night, especially as it is her birthday. Isn't she fortuuate to have been born on Christinas eve f Well, I didn't ask her, because she is not able to leave her room. Thero she has sat, or luin. for fifteen years I She's a confirmed invalid ; but she can seo her friends. And now for my little scheme. I want to give her a surprise party from al! her ueighbors, and I waut to give 11 now. us uti rigm. sjifciuuru uwi seen ber maid and Mrs. Dlake knows just enough to be willing to have me bricg a few friends." . Miss Pix looked about, with a little anxie-tv neeninir out of her eood-souled eager face. Dut the company was so melted dowu that she could uow mould it at pleasure, and no opposition was mado. Mr. Munlius volunteered to enlighten Doctor Chocker ; but he made so long a preamble thut the old scholar turned, with considerable impatience, to Mips l'ix, who soon put In in in good humor, and secured his co operation, though not without his indulging in soma sinful and anneigh-borly remarks to Nicholas. It proved unnecessary to go into conrt, for these two houes happened to have a connection, which Mies Pix made use of, the door having been left open all the. evening, that Mrs. Wake might catch some whiffs of the entertainment. Oretcheo appeared In the doorway, bearing on a alver a great cake, made with bor own hands, having Mre. Blake's initials, in colored letters, on tho frosting, aud the whole surrounded by fifty little wax taper", indicating her age, which all counted, and all counted differently, giving opportunity to the four musical friends to enter upon a fresh and lively discussion. The party was marshalled by Mirt Fix in the order of houe, while she herself iquee zed past them all on tho staircase, to usher them into Mrs. Wake's presence. Mrs,, Dlake was sitting In bor reclining-chairas MifS Pix entered with ber retinue. The room was In perfect ftrder, and had about it such an air of neatness aod pmity that one felt one's self in a haven of rest npon crossing the threshold. The invalid snt quietly and at ease, looking forth npco the scene before her m if eo fafelv moorcJ that no troubling of the oloments conld ever reach her.' Here bad she lived, yeur after yoar, almost alone with herself, though uow the big-souled littlo music teacher was her constant visitor ; but tho entrance of all her neighbors seemCd In no wise to agitate her placid demeanor, She greeted Miss Pix with a pleased smile ; and all being now in the room, the bustling little woman, at the very zenith of her euuey courso, took her stand and said, . "This is my company, denr Mrs. Blako, These are all neighbors of ours, living in the ciurt, or close by. We have been having a right merry time, and now wo cun't break up without briugiug you our good wishes, our Chrinimas good wishes, and our birthday good wishoB," said Miss Pix, with a little oratorical flourish, which brought Urotchen to the front with her illuminated cuke, which the positively could not have held another momeut, so heavy had it grown, oven for her stout arms. i Mrs. Blake laughed gently, and with a delighted look exnminod tho great cake, with her initials, and did not need to count the wax topers. It was placed on. ujstiind, and she said, " "No I should like to entertain my guests, and, if yon will let me, I will give yeu each a piece of my cake, for it a,ll belongs to mo, after Miss Pix's graceful presentation ; and if Miss, Pix will be so good, I will ask her to make me personally acquainted with each of you." So a knife was brought, and Mrs. Blake cut a generous piece, when Doctor Chocker was introduced, with gteat gesticulation on tlie part of Miss Pix. "I am glad to Bee you, Doctor Chocker,' said Mrs. Blako, distinctly, but quietly, iuto his trumpet "Do you let your patients eat cake? Try this, and see if it isu't good for mc." "If I were a doctor of mediciue," said he, jerkily, "I should bring my patients to see you j" at which Miss Pix nodded to him most vehemently, and the doctor wagged bis ear trumpet in delight at tho retort which be thought he had made. --.' Mr. Lo Clear was introduced, and took his cake gracefully, saying, "I hope another year will see you at a Christmas party of Miss Pix's ;" but Mrs. Blake smiled, tud said, "This is my little lot of earth, and I am sure there is a patch of stars above." Mr. Manlius and wife came up together, he eomewnut lumbering, as it Mrs. Jtiluke s character were too much for bis discernment, and Mrs. .Manlius not quite sure of herself when her husband seemed embarrassed. "This is really too funny," said Mrs. Blako, merrily ; "as if I were a very benevolent person, doliug out my charity of cake on Christmas eve. Do, Mr. Mnnlius, take alarge piece; and I am sure your wife will take some homo to the children." "What wonderful inBinht 1" said Jlir. .Van- lins, turning about to Nicholas, and drawing; in his breath. "We have children, two. That woman has a deep character, Mt. Judge." ".Urs.

"Stop P said she. decisively, to .Mrs. Star- key, aud half rising, she leaned forward to Nicholas, and said rapidly, with an energy which seemed to be summoned uom every part of her syBtem, "Are you meson oi aiico crown i 'Yes, yes," said Nicholas, tumultuously ; "and you, you are her sister.

You are my Aunt Eunice," he exclaimed, as she sank back in her chair exhausted, but reaching out her arms to bim. "Thut young man is a base impostor 1" said Mr. Jlaulius aloud, with his hand in his waist coaf j while Mrs. Jlianlius looked on dopre catingly, but as it too, too aware of the soii fact. "I said so to my wife in private, I read it in his face, and now I declare it jiub-licly. ' That man is a base impostor I" "Dear, dear, I don't understand it at all I" said the unfortunate JWrs. Starkey. "I thought, to be sure, that Nicholas was my nephew. Never saw bjm before, but be said he was ; and now, now, I don't know what I shall do I" and the poor lady, suddenly bereft of her fortune, began to wipe her moiBt eyes ; "but perhaps," she added, with a bright, though transient gleam of hope, "we are both aunts to him." "That cannot be," said Nicholas, kindly, who left his aunt to set the company right, if possible. "My dear friend," he said, taking Mrs. Starkey's hand, "it has been a mistake, brought on by my heedlessness. I knew only thrt my aunts name was Eunice Brown. It chanced that yours was the same name. I happened to come upon you first ic my search, and did not dream it pcssiblo that there could be two in the same court Everything seemed to tally ; and I was too pleased at finding the only relation I had in the wide world to ask many questions. But when I saw Jhat my anut knew who I was, and I saw my moth er's. features in hers, I perceived my mistake at once. We will remain friends, though, shall we nott" Mrs. Sturkey was too much bewildered to refuse any compromise ; but Mr. .Manlins stepped forward, having his claim as a private ollicer cf justice. "I must still demand an explanation, Sir, how it is that in this mixed assembly the learned Doctor Chocker addresses you as Mr. JLe Clear, and you do not decline the title j" and Mr. ;Uuulius looked,- as it for a wuuess, to Doctor Chocker, who was eating his cake with great solemnity, holding bis ear trumpet iu hopes of catching an occasional word. "That would require too long an explanation," said Nicholas, smiling ; "but you shall have it sometime in private. Mt Le Clear himself will no doubt tell yon;" which Mr. Lo Clear, an tun used spectator of the scene, cheerfully promised to do. The company had been so stirred np by (his revelation, that they came near retreating at onco to Mm Pix's to talk it over, to the dismay of the four musical gentlemen, who had not yet been presented, and especially who had not y it got any cake.

Let us hope, too, that the pachydermatous Mr. Manlins felt the puncture of her disappointment, and that Miss Pix's genial warmth had made him cast off a little the cloak of selfithness in which he bad wrapped himself ) for what else could have made bim say to his echoing wife that night, "Caroline, suppose we let Eunice take the children to the panorama to-morrow.

Strange things had bnpponed ; and for one night at least, the. Five Sisters hud actod as one family. Little .Wias Pix, reviewing the evening, as she droppoi off to sleep, could not help rubbing her bauds togethor, aud emitting little chuckles. Such a delightful evening as she had had I and meaning to surprise others, she had herself been taken into a belter surprise still ; and here, recollecting the bnppy nmon ot the lone, but not lonely, Mrs. lilake with a child of her old age, as it were, Miss Fix most laugh aloud just as the midnight clock was sounding. Bless her neighborly soul, she has ushered in Christmas-day with her laugh of good-will toward men. The whole hymn of tbe angels is in her heart ; and with it let her sleep till the glorious snnshiBe awakes her. , , New Tears Fashions In New Tork- The New York Review gives the following shetch of the new fashions, as they are seen on Broadway. We copy them for the benefit of our fair readers, who aro always supposed to take a keen interest in these things. Hats, that for so long bold sway iu tbe Empire and sister cities, have at last yielded to their old, rival the bonnet and to a new-born, saucy chit of a thing called cop. I say old rival, but who would recognize me bonnet oi 1863 iu that of 18651 1SC4 was a slow formative period, an age of expedients, in' which a thousand things were tried, but nothing defi nito or characteristic wus attained. In the mean time the style of wearing the hair had become agitated and decided, and that immediately determined tho character or the bonnet. The present style of weaiingthe hair is borrowed from the antique. It is the Milo modernized the curls of the Venus de Milo "bagged" in an invisible net. This invisible net is the "gossamer" of Inst year, made if possiblc-a shade more fragile, and msut match exactly the color of the hair. It is qnite small and hangs low on the neck beiug half concealed by bows of narrow ribbons falling from the top. Uold ana coral combs OLd silver arrows and stilettos with strauus of elaborately complicated chain are much worn and look elegaut and recuevche beyond, meir valne. ! With such a style of hair-drossmg tbe bon net of 1863 would be impossible, . aud thatf 1865 in the highest degree apropos, ibe effect of the new bonnet is as if a three-cor nered piece of velvet was thrown over the head and tied under the chin, the corner luiuug De- bind being festooned and ordunieote with ribbons, laco, feathers, flowers, etc. Flowers, feathers, tullo, lace, illusion and ribbons adorn the front, color to suit the complexion of tbe wearer. Red and blue, tbat fof yenra haye been a tabooed combination, are now flaunted on Broadway by leaders of ton. . Like lineal descendants 01 tne uoouess oi Liberty look the velvet-cupped A merican girls who trip along Broadway, these bright crisp days. This cap is truly a cosmopolitan production, embracing a broad variety of shapes and characters. It is round, oval, the Neapolitans square, and has a hint at three corners. It is the cavalier cap with curtailed rim; the snug cap of the country school-boy; the regu lation cop or the army ouicer; tne mue oou-not of tho Iliehluuder: the cup of the western 6quirrel hunter; the U. S. navy cap, and the Liberty cap of the Revolution slightly modi- tied, daintily plumed, and larjeieu -lasnioo- able." Ostrich plumes are no longer in vogue. Qoose.brcast feathers, hen toil feathers, the golden-green sideplumage of peacock, the down of swans and sea-gulls, various small, brillanl native, and SouthAmerican birds, and the white wings of doves and pigeons, are flaunted on fashionable caps. This last is a barbarous deduction from the snbtlo-eouled sueirestion of the Oreek a single broken dis severed Wing, lor idb living, waviug wing ui Mufcurys cap, throbbing for action in upper air.
